of essays<br /> [01:16.41]which stands as a testament to great men,<br /> [01:19.86]and sometimes women,<br /> [01:21.83]in times of strife and hardship throughout history.<br /> [01:27.12]It was written by Hannah Arendt<br /> [01:29.43]over a 15-year period in various publications<br /> [01:33.63]and collectively portrays political<br /> [01:36.12]and cultural individuals during the tumultuous years<br /> [01:39.96]from pre-World War I through the end of the second.<br /> [01:46.16]As a talented and thoughtful biographer,<br /> [01:49.17]Arendt instills in the reader<br /> [01:51.24]not only a sense of the tragedy of those "dark times,"<br /> [01:55.81]but the philosophical and spiritual light<br /> [01:59.27]which shines through these remarkable personages.<br /> [02:04.78]Her portrait of Pope John XXIII<br /> [02:07.73]is clearly the centerpiece of this volume.<br /> [02:12.55]Especially as seen through her eyes,<br /> [02:15.38]he was a man of simple faith and great wisdom.<br /> [02:20.32]Other subjects of her essays,<br /> [02:22.54]individuals whose names might have otherwise<br /> [02:25.90]slip into the vast unwritten history,<br /> [02:29.90]such as Rosa Luxemburg, Karl Jaspers, Isak Dinesen,<br /> [02:35.18]Walter Benjamin, and Bertolt Brecht,<br /> [02:38.82]were people who she knew<br /> [02:40.46]and admired for their personal stories of courage<br /> [02:44.29]and perseverance at a time of worldwide problems.<br /> [02:51.71]讲解<br /> [04:04.76]The volume is neatly tied together<br /> [04:07.45]by her opening essay entitled,<br /> [04:10.54]"On Humanity in Dark Times: Thoughts about Lessing."<br /> [04:16.23]She uses the views and thoughts<br /> [04:18.70]of this 18th century philosopher to discuss the ways<br /> [04:23.05]civic friendship help to cement society<br /> [04:26.54]in difficult times in each portrait.<br /> [04:30.52]The reader can reflect on our current era<br /> [04:33.44]in light of these biographies<br /> [04:35.89]and by the very nature<br /> [04:38.00]of how each individual must learn<br /> [04:40.89]and grow through the author's wonderful style of writing.<br /> [04:46.79]She provides the reader with a great insight<br /> [04:50.17]into the nature of greatness, not fame,<br /> [04:54.01]and the problems inherent in any time of social<br /> [04:57.73]and political upheaval.<br /> [05:00.40]There is much to learn here from the past<br /> [05:02.95]and the role each one of us plays in the present.<br /> [05:09.29]讲解<br /> [06:02.89]语言点<br /> [06:05.69]Times of

Waldemar Gurian,<br /> [08:49.65]Randall Jarrell, Walter Benjamin, Isak Dinesen,<br /> [08:54.92]Bertolhdt Brecht, Pope John XXIII<br /> [08:59.87]are remarkable for their human insight,<br /> [09:03.18]their narrative power<br /> [09:05.00]and their philosophical understanding.<br /> [09:08.58]Arendt makes of each portrait a life- story,<br /> [09:12.76]often a most moving story, and a presentation<br /> [09:16.78]and critical assessment of the figure 's life- work.<br /> [09:21.32]In some cases she had a central part in introducing<br /> [09:26.31]to an English reading audience seminal figures<br /> [09:30.24](Walter Benjamin and Hermann Broch<br /> [09:33.70]are the outstanding examples)<br /> [09:36.14]who were far less well known,<br /> [09:38.79]than they would come to be.<br /> [09:41.11]She chooses figures<br /> [09:42.59]whose power of creation is great and unique,<br /> [09:46.81]and she assesses them<br /> [09:48.33]in terms of her own set of categories and understandings.<br /> [09:53.30]One outstanding instance is her evaluation<br /> [09:57.64]it is really a laudation a work of praise<br /> [10:01.01]for the great Pope John XXIII.<br /> [10:04.78]She speaks of his remarkable simplicity,<br /> [10:07.93]humanity and courage.<br /> [10:10.47]His simple great faith<br /> [10:12.70]"Every day is a good day to be born,<br /> [10:16.31]and every day is a good day to die"<br /> [10:20.41]讲解<br /> [11:27.40]Some of the portraits<br /> [11:28.75]are of personal acquaintances and friends.<br /> [11:31.93]And one feels that in writing about them<br /> [11:35.16]she is somehow doing for them what she in her<br /> [11:39.30]"The Human Condition" spoke about<br /> [11:41.62]as the role of the poet the immortalization of the hero<br /> [11:46.49]and their deeds.<br /> [11:48.21]She has a wonderful eye and her description<br /> [11:51.88]for instance of the awkwardness<br /> [11:54.34]with material things of Waldemar Gurian<br /> [11:58.08]catches the essence of the person in a striking way.<br /> [12:02.78]All in all the portraits of Men in Dark Times<br /> [12:07.11]shed light on the human character and soul,<br /> [12:10.72]and are a testimony<br /> [12:12.53]not only to the greatness of the subjects<br /> [12:15.57]but to the greatness of the writer herself.<br /> [12:20.16]讲解<br /> [13:04.81]Hannah Arendt's Political Biographies（A reader）<br /> [13:15.78]Men in Dark Times is a collection of biographical essays<br /> [13:20.34]Arendt wrote over a period of 15 years (1955-1968),<br /> [13:28.75]all of which were published elsewhere,<br /> [13:31.37]and collected here under this title.<br /> [13:34.64]She has chosen to collct her portraits of cultural<br /> [13:38.23]and political figures<br /> [13:39.88]who worked and were caught up in world affairs<br /> [13:43.49]in the first half of the twentieth-century,<br /> [13:46.79]figures such as Rosa Luxemburg,<br /> [13:49.98]Karl Jaspers, Isak Dinesen,<br /> [13:53.31]Walter Benjamin, and Bertolt Brecht.<br /> [13:58.23]讲解<br /> [14:31.28]The opening essay,<br /> [14:33.06]"On Humanity in Dark Times: Thoughts about Lessing,"<br /> [14:37.44]focuses on the thought<br /> [14:39.22]of the eighteenth-century German philosopher,<br /> [14:42.61]and she uses his thoughts on friendship,<br /> [14:45.57]on the political and civic aspects of friendship,<br /> [14:49.25]the ways in which philosophical and political works<br /> [14:52.80]are formed through civic friendship,<br /> [14:55.30]to tie all of the personae discussed in the book together.<br /> [15:00.57]She sees them all as struggling to produce in an era<br /> [15:04.84]racked by political upheaval.<br /> [15:07.97]As always, she writes with a highly astute critical eye<br /> [15:12.61]and a sharp tongue.<br /> [15:14.64]It is one of her more polemical works,<br /> [15:18.01]and is sure to make one re-evaluate<br /> [15:20.96]how we look not only at the lives<br /> [15:23.93]and works of those she tells us about,<br /> [15:26.60]but also about ourselves.<br /> [15:31.32]讲解<br /> [16:20.09]出版社：江苏教育出版社 <br /> [16:21.57]出版日期：2006-7-1 <br /> [16:24.56]字数：218000 <br />
